This is more about retailers selling stuff that doesn’t comply with existing safety standards. It’s not a plot from big auto to ban bikes and scooters.
Very few people are cross shopping between a new Honda and a £179 e-scooter from Amazon.

The proper way for government to ‘urge’ businesses is by passing legislation and then prosecuting companies that fail to meet that legislation. Sounds like these MPs don’t want to prosecute big businesses for failing to meet the standards set out in law.
